Gov. Ross has granted pardon
to poor convict nearly dead with
consumption. From this, it APP
pears the governor is not following
the policy mapped out for him by
Private Secretary Holmes, just
before the senatorial election,
when that gentleman in criticising
Governor Ireland's exercise of the
pardoning power, declared that
''Gov. Ross would not undertake
to reverse the decisions of the
courts" Gov. Ross, however,
like Gov. Ireland and other great
men, has head of his own and
wisdom in it, and that is just why
the people put him in the execu-
tive chair. 1t is often right and
necessary to grant pardons; and
the HERALD is glad that Texas
has another governor who is not
afraid to assume the responsibility
of the position. A governor is ex-
pected to examine into all the cir
cumstances, the merits Of each
case which calls for action on his
part, and then to exercise HIS judg-
ment; and in Gov. Ross the state
has man who will not shirk the
responsibility, or fear public opin-
ion in a conscientious discharge Of
duty.

Second District Con gressional Contest

PALESTINE, Feb. 10.-From all indi-
cations the congre' sional air will be
red hot and still heating in this district.
The announcement of the candidacy
Of Major w. ii Martin, of Athens, as
would-be wearer of Rcagan's COLI
gressional mantle, has had an awaken
ing effect on the sovereigns. lie scrv-
ed as district attorney for this county
for four years, and 1t is not SAYING
too much to declare that
"Old Howdy" is mighty close to the
people. In the event that Anderson
county presented no oandi late TO the
convention il would take fine work 10
keep our delegation from settling on
Old Bill. 1t is believed that in view
of the before mentioned contingency,
Judge }. /. Perkins, of Rusk, Is the
onlv man in the district who could
prevent the Anderson county delega-
ton from going solid for him. Judge
Perkins formerly served as district at
torney and district judge for this coun-
ty, and also has the advantage of hav-
ing lived and made good records in
two different sections of the district.
1t is almost certain that Col. Num-, Of
Crockett, and Judge Collard, of Frank
lin, will be in tho field. Senator John
Young Gooch is still silent as to
whether he will or will not be can
didate. In the meantime the friends
of w. @. Reeves, Esq, of this city, are
quietly laying their heads together
and calmly viewing the situation and
watching for future developments.
Mr.. Reeves is son of Judge Reeves,
formerly of the supreme bench, and is
not only brilliant, but one of the very
ablest lawyers of the State. Residing
In central portion of the district, in
case of a deadlock in the convention
he would be acceptable 10 every
county. 1t is not ct known whether
Judge S. A. Wilson would quit the
court of appeals TO go 10 congress, but
IL he did he would be strong man IN
the race. His candidacy would hamper
Perkins chances, as they are both
strong and popular in the east end Of
the district.

The Willis Case.

AUSTIN, Feb. 10-The house COM
mittee investigating Judge Willis met
this afternoon. The Attorney General
was not ready to proceed. Witnesses
from the Panhandle had not arrived.
Col. Walton wanted the committees
attention called TO matter he had
mentioned to the Attorney General.
The latter stated that he had been
shown letter from Judge Hare, of
Sherman, stating that Mr.. Gass, Ser
geant at Arms, sent to the Panhandle
to summon witnesses for the COM
mittee, had been using his mouth too
freely on the train about Judge Willis
and the case. Gen. Hogg condemned
Gass.
II the matter is not explained,
Mr.. Walton submitted if
the committee would retain
such an officer, denouncng his
course and reading Judge llare's let

had been present when made, would

TO the matter of the charges and ask
ed him how he expected to convict

He stated G. A. Brown. Woodman and

Mr. Walton then went for Mr.. Gass,
and Mr.. Hogg deprecated action on
the matter until Gass returned and
could be heard in defense or explana-
ton. AS Gass was then OH his way
back, the committee decided TO await
his return before revoking his author
ity. Chairman Kirlicks, Grocc, Hogg
and Walton all agreed if the letter

After this the prosecution asked for

lions the committee adjourned.

SIXTY BELOW ZERO.
Herds Dying and Many Lives Lcss

BUTTE, Mont, Feb. 10.-Thc Their
mometer has been ranging from 40 to
60 degrees below zero for ten days.
Specials from Fort Assinaboine, Fort
Shaw and Benton say cattle are now
dying from exposure by the thousands.
At Fort Benton fuel is getting scarce,
many families being out of fuel. All
hopes Of saving cattle have vanished.
The snow is from two to
three feet deep. Men who counted
their herds by the thousands, and
who were rated at millions, will be
worse than penniless. Many lives
have been lost by exposure this winter.
Several stage coaches have been lost,
and relief parties are now out after
them, but fears are entertained that
the drivers, with several passengers,
have frozen 10 death. The Indian
commissioners, now at Fort Belknap,
had narrow escape. They were lot
in blizzard thirty-six hours, having
been lost on the prairie.
